Session Description

In a time of shrinking education resources and shifting priorities, brick-and-mortar programs for gifted elementary students have become largely hit or miss. Can online and blended learning be the answer? In this comprehensive session, attendees will hear from gifted students and the educators who serve them in innovative virtual K-8 environments. See and hear firsthand how online/blended learning opportunities can enrich, accelerate, and extend learning for the young and gifted.
